This fresh Mexican Street Corn dip, or Elote dip, is the perfect appetizer for a summer party or poolside snack. Cotija cheese and cilantro bring all of the best flavors out. Smoked Paprika is a must, it add the perfect flavor- regular paprika won't do.
Enjoy it with tortilla chips or top a taco with this dip for a burst of flavor! I used fresh corn and cut it off of the cob, but canned corn is perfect and even easier. Either will do.
